Speranza (spe-rahn-zah), what a beautiful word. It means “hope” and it comes from the Latin spes, a noun of the fifth declension, one that kids in school never managed to remember.
Before being “speranza,” it was speme in Italian and, although the former entered our vocabulary sometimes around the 13th century, the latter would still appear here and there in the written words of our poets.
